Piece of Cake
The acid reflux issue is infinitely better. Thank God for drugs that WORK!! It's not perfect but I'm so much better than I was. What a relief!! I'm (obviously) still awake and wandering around in the early morning, but I'm sure even this will stop with time.My bigger issue is a very confused intestinal system. I actually feel best when I haven't eaten. Eating sucks and I just don't want to deal with the issues anymore. That's what's waking me up now. Well that, and rolling over: "OWWW!!". You don't wake up with pain. Pain wakes you up. Good morning!
Tomorrow (thursday) is officially one-month from surgery. I regularly have to be reminded that it's only been a month and that I had "major" surgery. I expect too much of myself. Hey, maybe Gatorade is making the whole intestine issue worse? But I *need* it, I feel dehydrated all the time.
My mom and I are taking a cake decorating class, both for fun and to think about something ELSE for a couple of hours a week. I decorated my first cake without jimmies or canned frosting!
I had to write something on it as part of class, otherwise I'd have left it blank. It's not particularly spooky. ;) Only that I overdid it with the vines. Oh well!
Where do I file a complaint that there is nothing on TV at 4:00am except Dharma and Greg?
As always, thank you for your cards, notes and gifts. Please know I truly love hearing from everyone and I'm getting better at responding... In fact, thank you cards are on their way (finally!). In the meantime, here's your piece of cake! :)

Hi Jen. I stumbled upon your blog today. It was so interesting, I had to read the entire thing. Hope you continue to feel better! By the way, I am a fellow insomniac...going through lots of test and a possible future surgery, but with no official diagnosis yet of what is causing my pain. Your blog has encouraged me to be more upbeat and positive though. Thanks...your new reader in Fernandina Beach, FL.

I especially like how you coordinated the frosting with the plate, Martha! Thanks for the cake, and I'm impressed with the decorating. You should be teaching the course, never mind taking it!

OMG! You really did coordinate the cake with the plate. That is SO MARTHA! I had to go back to check that out. I LUV cake. Thanks. It looks good. I have no such artistic talents. Is there a trick? Do you just have to have the right equipment? The kids love it when we make a cake but my decor is limited to stuffing colored icing in a plastic ziplock, cutting a corner, twisting the bag and squeezing. The kids don't seem to mind my simplistic way of doing it but perhaps as they get older and more critical you could teach me better?
Now did you eat any of that cake yourself? Hope it went down well.

Oh no, it DOES match!
You have to trust me, those are really just my mom's dishes.
OR I really did try to perfectly match my cake colors to my mom's dishes....
